    I’ve made quite a bit of content about Siri here on the channel, and I’m very aware that it lags behind a lot of the voice assistant competition, especially as AI is starting to become more widely adopted, but for better or worse, Siri is the tool that over 1.3 billion of us have access to, so we might as well try and get the most out of it.

    I think one reason these videos are so useful is because you model exactly how to make a specific request. I find that unless I know the words to use, I get bogged down. I often think it’s the panic that comes from knowing some entity is waiting for a clear request. May be an odd reaction, but I wonder if others experience it too!

I didn’t know that Siri will pronounce words when asked. There is a music instrument in the Bible I didn’t know the correct pronunciation of it. I asked Siri and it gave me the British pronunciation and also the American pronunciation. Kudos to Siri! Thanks

Currently I'm using Mullvad, the NYT Wirecutter's top recommendation. So far no performance issues, except split tunneling on a Mac is a bit of a cluster. That bit is definitely not plug and play. So far that's my only negative.

Then a few years ago I happened upon 2 Australia guys hosting a radio show on instagram, taking about Siri and “Karen” actually phoned in to speak to them, they thought it was a wind up, but it was real, and the story of how she came to be the ACTUAL voice of Siri Australia …. Was an interesting story. She is very helpful 😂 … great channel …… thanks

This is particularly annoying whilst one is driving.

    That is really helpful. I love that Siri no longer needs “Hey”, just Siri works. Siri has become more like Kaylee in “Why Him”, more conversational. You mentioned a computation, but did you know Siri will do running computations, ie Siri what is 45 times 438 ?, she responds, then you can ask, what is that answer divided by 3.142? Siri gives the answer. The fact that Siri now stores a value or item, I am expecting that I can ask, Siri, remember I need to pay the rent, or remember that the mail is in the kitchen. You covered where am I, but I need for Siri to remember this location. A number of times I have been driving and seen buildings I want to go back to later. When I am being guided by Maps, I don’t necessarily know where I am or how I got there. Siri store this trip will be useful. I suddenly hold out great hopes for Siri, especially as you have opened my awareness to Shortcuts App, and GoodLinks App. I live on a boat where there is an elevated level of domestic automation, and Siri can do a lot in this environment.

    I’ve got a few smart plugs for lamps and such around the house. Until recently, whenever I instructed “Siri, turn on bedside lamp” - I’d get a spoken acknowledgement from Siri that it had been turned on or off etc” (or more frequently - “not responding…”). This has changed to s simple tone now - I’ve been all through the settings having followed lots of vids on RUclips- Siri settings are set to announce calls when I have AirPods in - which it does, “Prefer spoken responses” is ticked etc, but still no luck - any thoughts?

It’s hard to compare when one only has what one has. Thanks!! 😊. ALSO, what Apple HAS to do one of these days, is permit someone to ‘unlock’ without physically doing so. Perhaps a special password that also requires voice recognition?? Thanks!!
